Having technical difficulties? My apologies. Simply email your comment to me and I'll post it for you!
"I See You Hiding In There" - great title for the blog! It certainly peeked my interest! It's true that there are many of us that don't comment on the blog on a regular basis. There's many reasons - pressed for time, other people have already said what I would say, a certain day's blog doesn't click with you or maybe a person is too shy with their opinions! It's all fine - the best thing is that they came to the blog, read it, looked at the pictures, listened to the song or whatever draws their interest - and they continually come back! Thanks for the work you put into the blog - we all appreciate it, just in different ways.
ReplyDeleteYou hit all the nails right on the head, Mah ... except the most important one. I never want anyone to feel like they don't belong or their presence doesn't matter or their thoughts not welcomed. Ever.
DeleteNot on my watch.
😢
I agree with Maryleigh. That title is hook-y! I'm so thankful for your words and your encouragement, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI only wish I had gift cards for everyone who dropped by this week!

A great post once again, Linda.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Always glad when you stop by, Victor!

Linda, I always read your posts and enjoy them immensely. Lately, I have had so much going on that I have not commented as usual. Blessings, Pam
ReplyDeleteI hear ya' ... this is a busy season. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope you're enjoying every second, friend.

I see you hiding way out there,
ReplyDeleteyou folks my words have somehow reached,
and I feel your gentle prayer
as my ship of life lies beached
upon this rocky windward shore,
hard-driven by the stormy sea,
where the worst lies at my core
and this will be the death of me.
But as the messages come in
upon God's shortwave wireless,
I start to feel the hope begin
to rise again, and must confess
that to where- and whatever ends
I will be carried by my friends.
